Hi Leahgai

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you.  Thank you for the information on my grandfather.  We had been given incorrect information re where he would be likely to be registered.  It is great to discover that he was in fact on the books.  When I was a child I did actually know Josephine, better known to us as Mabel, and her husband, Harry Haysman.  They came on a trip with us to Collarenebri and it was quite an eventful  trip to say the least.  If you care to get in touch via other means I could give you a rundown of the "fun" we had on that trip.

Hi Daveke

Thanks for the reply, but my grandfather's birth was never registered.  This particular Francis has several siblings, none of which belong to our family.  My grandfather's parents were not married at the time of his birth, and lived "out bush" where it may have been too late to register his birth by the time they actually "went into town".

I also had an excellent time.  Laughter aplenty and new friends (and rellies) too.  How could it get any better?

Is Blue Water Pizza still at Warners Bay?  Do you think the club would mind ( ;D) if we stopped and got some pizzas for lunch?  Somehow I think we might be shown the door, what do you reckon?

Hi Neil, I was planning on being on the train that arrives at Cardiff at 10.42, as it is easier for me to get to Epping to catch that one.  I will be relying on my son or d-i-l to drop me off at Epping station.  I don't mind waiting around if you would need to leave it until later to pick me up.  I haven't had a look around Cardiff for a long time.

Cris, I can get off wherever is suitable.  The train stops at all those stations.

I may not be there right on 12 as I have to catch the train to N'cle, then bus it back to Belmont.  But I WILL be there, eventually (at least in time to eat ;D).

Having just escaped from hospital after abdo surgery, I don't know if I will be physically able to make the journey, as I am supposed to take it easy for at least 6 weeks.  But if I am anywhere near able to travel (by train, etc) by then, I would like to included as a possibility.  BTW, I grew up in Cessnock, and have been to the sailing club many years ago.
